Image file storage locations

Bar code recognition

This section provides general recommendations regarding the impact of image file storage locations on the overall throughput of the scanner.

Depending upon your application, you can receive up to four image files per document. Decisions about where to write these files when retrieving them could impact the overall throughput of the scanner. In order to prevent overwriting data the scanner stops feeding paper when the internal image buffer is almost full. Scanning will not resume until enough images are retrieved by the host to clear sufficient buffer memory. In order to minimize the number of times this condition might occur, it is recommended that image files are written to a local hard drive to avoid the potential overhead of transferring files across the network to remote drives during scanning.

Unlike some Kodak scanners the i100 Series Scanners do not include a bar code accessory. Bar code functionality is the responsibility of the host system. The main imaging parameter, which may affect bar code read rates, is resolution. Either bi-tonal, grayscale or color images may be used for bar code applications. Refer to your software documentation for their recommendations and/or requirements for image file quality to achieve desired read rates.

Electronic color dropout

The i100 Series Scanners provide the ability to create dropout images without changing lamps. The application has the ability to select red, green and blue dropout functionality. Only one color can be dropped out at a time. This dropout performance is equivalent to color dropout functionality when using the traditional color lamp technique.

Electronic color dropout is used with OCR and ICR applications. See your vendor’s documentation for recommendations on image quality characteristics.

Electronic color dropout is applied to the bi-tonal image chain only.
